FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While comfortable and supportive for general wear and light activities, these trainers are not specifically designed for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training. They are best suited for casual, everyday use.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot length accurately and then referring to the official adidas size guide, paying close attention to the kids' sizing chart, which typically differs from adult sizes.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the suede, alter the shoe's shape, and compromise its overall integrity. Please follow the specific care instructions provided for suede.

How do I clean the white 3-Stripes?

The white 3-Stripes, made of synthetic material, can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For more persistent marks, a soft brush can be used carefully.

Is the suede material waterproof?

The suede is not inherently waterproof. To add a layer of protection against water and stains, we highly recommend applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede before initial wear and periodically thereafter. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

How durable is the suede material for active kids?

Suede is a durable material for everyday wear, but it can be prone to scuffs and stains, especially with active children. With proper care, including regular cleaning and protection, these trainers can withstand typical daily use effectively.

Where can I find the model number (MPN) for these trainers?

The MPN (Manufacturer's Product Number), which is JI2894 for these trainers, can usually be found on the product packaging, the shoe's size tag inside the tongue, or on the original receipt.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in various directions, then finish by brushing consistently in one direction.

Stains on the suede material.

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried or more stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a suede cleaning solution as per product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Trainers feel uncomfortably tight or rub.

Ensure the correct size was purchased, considering the shoe is a kids' size. Suede can stretch slightly with wear, but significant discomfort suggests an incorrect size. Check sock thickness.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers when not in use to absorb odors, then shake it out before wearing. Consider anti-odor shoe inserts.

Care:

Proper care for suede material is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers. Follow these steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Before the first wear, it's highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or smudges, use a dedicated suede eraser. Gently rub the affected area to lift the mark.
  4. Deep Cleaning (If Needed): For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner solution. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
  5. Drying: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent crushing the suede.
